From Average To Ideal

Ellen DeGeneres may have pushed her aside a few years, but now she's here to stay.

From Average To Ideal
LA Times

Ellen DeGeneres can arguably be one of the greatest people on Earth. Some might say she is greater than dogs or cats, brothers or sisters, maybe moms or dads; she strongly dislikes children but would probably be a great parent. Ellen could be the definition of ideal. She is role model to many of her viewers, some wishing to be her. However, I would never wish to be her. I would love to bring joy to others and spread kindness, but her ED by Ellen shoes she wears just can’t be filled. But the people that work with her are fortunate. Ellen and her staff are some of the most positive people you’ll ever watch on a talk show (see Stephen 'tWitch' Boss below).

Specifically, on The Ellen show there’s always been this, maybe twenty-five-year-old, female that announces to home viewers of something they have won. She’s surprised viewers at department stores and the places they work. You’ve even seen her on the show when she was first hired. Well her name is Jeannie and for six seasons of entering contests and constantly writing to Ellen, Jeannie didn’t win a single thing. Until 2008 she won the ultimate prize of being offered the job of being Ellen's receptionist by Ellen herself. (http://www.ellentv.com/videos/1_isk19vjy)

In her earlier days, America didn't see much of Jeannie because she was mostly in the office answering phone calls.


Today, she's a reporter for The Ellen show. Jeannie has a job many viewers dream of. Not only does she work for Ellen DeGeneres, famous for being generous, Jeannie has the job of bringing happiness to families just by standing on their doorstep or being in their sight. She could be considered famous since viewers recognize her and the reason she stands before them. Jeannie has traveled all over America to hold hands and jump up and down with strangers. Bringing others to tears of happiness is quite the dream job. Not only does Jeannie go to viewers to help them win contests and speak with Ellen, she’s even on the show playing games to help the audience win.


Jeannie has the fortunate life story of being the average American to becoming everyone’s dream. She’s the true “anything can happen” person.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
